Yeah I can’t fully agree with axioma #2. While people learn when you challenge them, every person reacts differently when they struggle. And there is this thing, anxiety, that makes people insecure. Mathematics anxiety is even a thing [1].

Well, my guess is that updates and inserts are much more frequent than searches in their use case. You're assuming a balanced frequency for these operations and it hardly ever happens.

ipv4 space is very limited and you can easily compute all the hashes. There is salting and combined with rotating salts it could work but no one guarantees that you’re not storing them

But the idea that the brain functions on a basis of complex statistical processes doesn't imply that statistics created the brain itself, it just suggests that the brain's processes can be modeled/understood through the lens

When you fine-tune it, do you train just the head/last few layers or do you also unfreeze the model afterwards and retrain the whole model with a very small LR for a few epochs?

10% of the population in spain was using netflix before this, as a reference 12% in germany, not that much difference. We'll see, but I think it has more to do with the decline in quality of the content and people sending a message tha

My experience is similar but tbh I feel it's mainly due to the fact that oauth is implementing an important security layer (authentication/authorization) and that's hard by definition. There are lots of steps and things you c

IMO if your app is less secure than your competition by default, the app is less secure, period. Telegram is said to have been given authorities access to user data [1], despite the fact that they advertise the opposite. I guess that’s wha

Why? Genuinely asking. As a software engineer this all is very inspiring. I’m tickled and excited to do things again. I’m also learning deep learning and statistics and having a blast with toy projects.

I’ve noticed that bing chat is better if you instruct it not to search anything, that way it will use the model knowledge. I’ve learned to use the model knowledge or the web search results summary depending on what I want. But ChatGPT is st

OpenAI should implement an oauth authorization server and allow developers to use "Login with OpenAI account" into their apps.

> the EU has proved itself to take consistently anti-big US tech stances Is that how you call trying to protect consumers over there? Really, there are genuinely good reasons for those "stances".

I fail to see how ChatGPT would help here. It's only useful when you have some cognitive work that you want to automate so it saves you time and you can do it on a large scale, but I don't think writing massive amounts of viruses

The idea is interesting but I still don’t get how it works. Also, what are the benefits for me, as a user? I could give you ideas for the challenges but I’m missing a “search” or “explore” feature to find solutions for my problems in an eng

Jeez, I don’t think I’ll ever understand the american thing with Apple. It must be a social thing, I’ve seen people humiliate and even shun people who have Android (“the green bubble”) or other non-Apple devices. I feel that they're al

Yeah, but to be fair GPT 2 is open source and Whisper (a high-quality speech recognition and multilingual translation model) is also open source. A few years ago I needed a good model for transcription for a project and I couldn’t find anyt

They are language models, it's what they do best. They "understand" (give more weight) to the correct relations between words (tokens) and try to predict the next token based on previous tokens. So when you feed it with instr

Objectively speaking, how valuable would that information be if it were to be leaked? Random weekly aggregated and sampled machine data associated to random IPs that in most cases would no longer be yours (and that’s in the worst case that

I have thought about this but sometimes I reuse the variables on purpose to reuse the memory allocated, especially in a language like Golang where sometimes it is not that clear whether it will be allocated in the stack or the heap. I guess

Yeah I agree with that one. They set up a call and he stood by his decision to disclose it on oct 15th. Then 3 days before the disclosure deadline they rewarded him.

Yeah, they tried to set up a call to dissuade him but he stood by his decision. Then only 3 days before the disclosure deadline they decided to pay out.
